Ok Tata!!

The latest India Today features it's power list with 50 most powerful people in the country. When the book came home, i immediately thought MukeshAmbani would be heading the list with bro Anil coming in Second. Imagine my surprise (and delight) to see them placed 2 and 3 respectively.So, who headed the list? Our very own RatanTata!!!!Having worked with Tata group for a few years, i've been a great fan of the man ever since! It is truly heartening to see this fantastic individual heading the Magic Circle 50 Power people in Indiahttp://indiatoday.digitaltoday.in/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&issueid=43&id=5173&Itemid=1&sectionid=30

When the government says India is Shining, it is because of scions like Tata that it is.The first line in India today says "Because he makes us proud to be Indian". How true!! Here's a quick fact file

Joined the Tata Group in December 1962, when he was sent to Jamshedpur to work at Tata Steel. He worked on the floor along with other blue-collar employees, shovelling limestone and handling the blast furnaces.

Was named Chairman of Tata Industries in 1981

Took over from JRD as Group Chairman in 1991

In 1998, launched the first indigenious car in India, the Indica

In 2000, bought out Tetley Tea UK for 432 Mn US$ to form the World's 2nd Largest Tea company! The largest deal then.

Bought out the troubled Daewoo Commercial Vehicle company for 102 Mn $

There are many things that make us feel proud to be an Indian. RatanTata gives us the same feeling!! Gone are the days when Indians were considered to be the best employees worldwide! Now, it is time for us to be the best Business owners worldwide! And Tata is paving the way!I'm actually looking forward to seeing Tata takeover Ferrari!!!!JaiTata!
